CUFF-HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 251,502, dated.December 27, 1881.

Application filed October 3, 1881. (No model.)

To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, FORE BAIN, a citizen of the United States, and aresidentof Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State ot' Ohio,

have invented certain new and use'nlIni provements in Cuff-Holders, ot'which the following is a specification.

"M y invention relates to a spring cuff-holder adapted to be attachedupon the sleeve of the 1o coat in suoli a manner as to hold the cuff inits usual position, but attached to the coat-sleeve by the cuff-holderin such manner as to allow the cuff to be taken oft' or put on the coat,if desired, and at same time to allow the cuff to be taken off or put onseparate and apart from the coat.

To these ends my invention consists, essentially, in a spring-clampcomposed of a plate and a spring-bar formed of one piece of metal,

zo which is bent to l'oini a spring-loop, the said plate being providedwith a pin and guard, by which the device is attached in position.

Figure 1 is a perspective view ot' a spring,` cuil-holder embodying myinvention. Fig. 2

is a. central sectional elevation ofthe end of a coat-sleeve,showing myimproved cuff-holder in position. Fig. 3 is an enlarged cross-section online x 1.',Fig. 1, showing the holder applied 0n a broken section of thecuit'.

A represents the sleeve otl a cont; B, the lining` of the same.

C represents a entf.

D represents my improved cuff-fastening device.

d is the spring-arm, and E the main plate.' These two parts arepreferably formed of one piece of metal bent to form a spring-loopclasping the cuff.

Cr G represent the barbs, which are preferably forined in the mannershown, so as to project each side of the spring-arm d, between which itrests, preventing lateral motion of the spring-arm, as well as servingas barbs to onter or indent the culi', preventing it from lateralmovement between the spring and bar. It is obvious that these barbscould be attached to the spring-arm d, instead of the stationary arm E,and perform the same functions.

F represents a pin attached to the main arm E, and e a metallic guard tocover the pointot 5o the Dill lllil prevent the device from becomingdetached. A

It is obvious thatthis device can beattached t0 either the shirt-sleeveor coatsleevc; but it is especially adapted to beattaehed to the lining`ofthe coat-sleeve in the manner shown in Fig. 2 ot' the drawings, andwhen so worn it has manifest advantage over devices looped to theshirt-sleeve.

I claiml. A cud-holding attachment consisting of the main plate E,Jformed or provided with the spring-clamp d and the guard-pin F and c,substantially as and for the purpose described.

2. A cuff-holding attachmenteonsisting of the main plate E, guard-pin Fc, spring-clamp d, and barbs Gr, substantuillyv as and for the purposedescribed.

In testimony whereof l have hereunto set my hand in the presence of twosubscribing 7o witnesses.

FORE BAIN.
